Vallejo DECAL FIX is a specialized liquid for model decals, supplied in a convenient 17 ml bottle. It is a crucial preparation for every scale modeler, enabling precise and durable application of decals onto model surfaces.
Main Applications and Benefits
Vallejo DECAL FIX is a water-based solution, ensuring its safety and ease of use. Its primary purpose is to simplify the decal application process, minimizing the risk of unsightly air bubbles forming under the film. Additionally, it significantly enhances adhesion, or the grip of the decals to the surface, ensuring their durable and aesthetically pleasing placement on the model.
Key benefits for modelers:
Enhanced Adhesion: Ensures excellent adhesion of decals to various modeling surfaces.
Eliminates Air Bubbles: Actively prevents the formation of unwanted bubbles, guaranteeing a smooth finish.
Ease of Application: Simplifies the positioning and fitting of decals to uneven surfaces, which is particularly important in modeling.
Instructions for Use
To achieve optimal results when applying decals with Vallejo DECAL FIX, follow these steps:
Prepare the model surface where the decal will be applied. Ensure it is clean and smooth.
Apply a thin, even coat of DECAL FIX to the target area.
Soak the decal in water, then gently place it onto the surface wet with DECAL FIX. The fluid will facilitate positioning and sliding the decal.
After initial drying and positioning of the decal, it is recommended to secure it by applying Vallejo DECAL MEDIUM. This step ensures long-lasting protection, ideal blending of the decal into the model's surface, and a uniform finish.
